Redirect problem

Hi everyone,

Hope someone can help me out please.

I have a problem with my laptop. When I select a result from a Google search I get redirected or blocked. Not every time but often. Writing the site path into IE doesn't help either for microsoft sites or Bleepingcomputer or any site that may be of help.

This is the case for normal and Safe mode (I'm writing this from a second PC).

The OP-system is XP SP3 running on a Toshiba NB100.

I've downloaded (onto USB stick) and run Malwarebytes and SuperAntispyware in safe mode and found (and keep finding) Spyware.zbot but the redirection has not been fixed.

Also, the laptop will not connect to microsoft-updates or, as said above, any microsoft site.

Hope someone can help?

Many Thanks

Chaps, I've just found the tutorial on TDSS. I'll give this a try and post my results here.

Just tried the TDSS killer and it didn't find anything so I await your instructions please.

Did the TDSS killer and found nothing, did this in normal and safe mode. Just running Malwarebytes again and have found more infections. (Second post to inform you of progress)

Hello,

Please follow the instructions in ==>This Guide<==. If you cannot complete a step, skip it and continue.

Once the proper logs are created, then make a NEW TOPIC and post it ==>HERE<== Please include a description of your computer issues and what you have done to resolve them.

If you can produce at least some of the logs, then please create the new topic and explain what happens when you try to create the log(s) that you couldn't get. If you cannot produce any of the logs, then still post the topic and explain that you followed the Prep. Guide, were unable to create the logs, and describe what happens when you try to create the logs.

Hello,

Now that you have posted a log here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic381672.html you should NOT make further changes to your computer (install/uninstall programs, use special fix tools, delete files, edit the registry, etc) unless advised by a MRT Team member, nor should you ask for help elsewhere. Doing so can result in system changes which may not show in the log you already posted. Further, any modifications you make on your own may cause confusion for the helper assisting you and could complicate the malware removal process which would extend the time it takes to clean your computer.

From this point on the MRT Team should be the only members that you take advice from, until they have verified your log as clean.

Please be patient. It may take a while to get a response because the MRT Team members are EXTREMELY busy working logs posted before yours. They are volunteers who will help you out as soon as possible. Once you have made your post and are waiting, please DO NOT make another reply until it has been responded to by a member of the MRT Team. Generally the staff checks the forum for postings that have 0 replies as this makes it easier for them to identify those who have not been helped. If you post another response there will be 1 reply. A team member, looking for a new log to work may assume another MRT Team member is already assisting you and not open the thread to respond.

Please be patient. It may take several days to get a response but your log will be reviewed and answered as soon as possible. I advise checking your topic once a day for responses as the e-mail notification system is unreliable.

To avoid confusion, I am closing this topic. Good luck with your log.
